Cliché Cylinders

A cliché cylinder is a rotating printing plate used in rotary pad printing machines, especially for high-speed or continuous printing applications like closure caps, pens, syringes, and cosmetics. Instead of a flat plate, the design is etched or laser-engraved by Markolaser onto the curved surface of the cylinder.

These cylinders can be made from steel for durability or ceramic for superior resistance to wear and chemicals. The cylinder rotates during the printing process, allowing for precise, seamless, and fast decoration of cylindrical or curved objects.

We offer cliché cylinders and rubber rollers for all rotary pad printing machines.

  • 100mm × 100mm hollow cylinders with 9 impressions (9-ups) in two rows
  • 150mm × 100mm hollow cylinders with 9 impressions (9-ups) in three rows
  • Spinks World's Preciteel offers high-quality ceramic and steel cliché cylinders and rubber rollers for all rotary pad printing machines.

Rotary pad printing cliché cylinder

Ans: A cliché cylinder is a rotating, curved image carrier used in rotary pad printing machines for continuous, high-speed printing. The artwork design is laser-engraved or chemically etched directly onto the cylindrical surface. As the cylinder rotates, it transfers ink onto a synchronized rubber roller, which then prints seamlessly onto cylindrical or contoured products.

Ans: Rotary cliché cylinders are designed for high-speed automated lines decorating 360° or cylindrical components, including:

Ans: We supply Sure silicone rubber transfer rollers designed for optimal ink release across different durometer hardness levels:
  • White Roller: Hardness of 20 Shore A (softer, ideal for delicate or slightly flexible components).
  • Green Roller: Hardness of 40 Shore A (harder, ideal for rigid components requiring sharp registration).

Ans: Ceramic-coated cylinders can often be stripped, re-ground, and re-laser-etched with new artwork, offering long-term cost efficiency for high-volume automated operations.

Ans: Yes. Preciteel steel and ceramic cylinders, along with our white and green rubber rollers, are custom-manufactured to fit all major international rotary pad printing machine brands.
